The 11th Sunday after Pentecost
God remembered us when we were down,
His love never quits. ~ Psalm 136:23 (MSG)
Remember prisoners as if you were in prison with them, and people who are mistreated as if you were in their place. ~ Hebrews 13:3 (CEB)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God remembers us when we are down and out -- and as his representatives, we need to do the same for those who are in a bad way.
PRAYER
Faithful God, thank you for continuing to remember me. Others forget me but you don't. I confess that I'm one of the "others" and am prone to forget about those who are suffering. Out of sight -- out of mind. I know that's not a good excuse. So, please prompt me to remember and to act on their behalves. I'm going to allow your compassionate care to flow through me and into those in need. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
